The Relationship Room Presents: Episode 2(2026)| The Room Conversations: What’s Mine, What’s Ours, and the Quiet Expectations in Between

The Relationship Room Presents:

In this episode, Mo! and I talk about money, not just how it shows up in our relationships, but how it shapes our lives.

We dive into the infamous Black Tax, something so many of us can relate to whether we live at home or abroad. There’s the pride that comes with being able to support family, and the quiet responsibility that follows. Mo! reflects on a moment when she looked back at a year’s worth of money sent home and felt overwhelmed, not with regret, but with awareness. It clarified just how much love, effort, and sacrifice can be tied up in a single decision.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for not wanting to send as much as you “should,” or selfish for needing to choose yourself sometimes, you’re not alone. We see you.

We also take on a very delicate topic, prompted by a question from one of our listeners: to prenup or not to prenup, especially as Nigerians in the diaspora and as Christians. Why does the word feel so scary? Why does it sound like you’re ending a relationship before it even begins? Mo! captures it perfectly when she says it feels “like putting a lawyer in the room.”

We don’t have all the answers. We’re still figuring things out too. But this conversation is honest, personal, and rooted in lived experience.

If any part of this sounds familiar, pull up a seat and listen.
